What does White Gardenia smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads as unisex rather than leaning to one side.

Green notes and blackcurrant open it fresh and lightly fruity. The heart brings together rose, lily of the valley, jasmine, gardenia and oud, with the florals clearly in front and a creamy, sweet softness running through them. Sandalwood, amber and cedarwood settle underneath as a warm, woody base, with a faint spicy edge. Suddenly Fragrances Lovely and Harry Lehmann Akazie have a close profile.
